This message is from: Steve McIlree <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Well, we've just finished our most talkative month to date with 1080 messages posted in January. Last January was also a high-point in list traffic up to then. Guess it probably has something to do with cabin fever.
I'd like to remind everyone once again to check that your email programs are set to send plain ASCII text messages to the list. There are some HTML encoded messages that I have to repair every day. I will start sending them back to the sender from now on. If your message takes longer than you think it should getting to the list, you might want to check your format settings. The fund raising drive for the list was a complete success. I was able to send a check to our host last month paying us up thru the end of the year. I've built a file of all who contributed, which I will post next year so everyone will know whose turn it isn't to pay for the list in 2001. There was even some excess, out of which I would like to contribute $25 to Nancy Lehnert's tribute to David Klove in the name of the entire FjordHorse list. I've been asked several times about the password to the chat area on the list Web site. I'm sorry, that I haven't yet revised the Welcome message to carry the password. Anyway, the password is "Fjords_rulE". The password should be typed without the quote marks, and with the casing and underscore exactly as above. I've also been asked if I thought the password was really necessary. My answer is yes, I've seen too many chat rooms that were open to any web-surfer ruined by foul-mouthed kids. Remember, if you want to temporarily turn off your subscription, or turn it back on after returning from an absence, or change to or from the digest version, or even to unsubscribe from the list forever, you can use one of the handy forms found on the Web site at: http://members.home.net/smcilree/. -- Steve McIlree -- Pferd & Skipper -- Omaha, Nebraska, USA No whisper of lover, no trilling of birds, Can stir me as hooves of the horses have stirred. -- Will H Ogilvie
